Karl Rove Attacks Elizabeth Warren



Here is the ad that Karl Rove has created.


Since I urged Elizabeth Warren to acknowledge the Occupy movement (see previous post Elizabeth Warren: Markets Need to Be Regulated), I felt I needed to contribute to her effort to combat this inevitable type of ad.

I had warned her that giving any support to the Occupy movement would bring on these kinds of attacks. Now that she has committed herself, I can hardly wait to see how she counters this kind of attack.

One tack I might take in response, is to repeat the parts of the attack ad that showed the agreement with Warren’s claim that I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do… and the ending question Intellectual foundation for what? She could step in and say, Well, I am so glad you asked. I did the basic research and wrote books and made speeches documenting how the ultra-rich rewrote the rules of economic activity over the last 30 years to create a radical redistribution of wealth to the top 1% of the wealthy. Armed with that knowledge, the Occupy movement is asking for their money back.
